Bad News: I haven't seen any in SA for quite a while. CapeStorm put a whole bunch of Boreal shoes on sale about 18 months ago - I thank that was the last stock in SA. (If you find any aces for sale in SA, give me a shout - I'm looking for UK 8.5's.)

Try avoid buying the Boreal Lasers, the dye comes out and make your feet black.
If Hikers Paradise have still got, try the Boreal Zephyr which are similar to the Ace but with a bit less lining.
There are not many of the more rigid \"board-lasted\" shoes available on the market anymore so good luck finding what you want.

Don't buy Lazers cos they make your feet black? Wtf? Anywho, the Lazer is slip-lasted so it's a completely different shoe to the Ace or Zephyr. IMO the Lazer is a muuuuuuch better shoe than the Zephyr for sure!
